Feeling Minnesota

February 3, 2005
Dear Mr. Sipe:

Thank you for contacting me about the confirmation of Dr. Condoleezza Rice as United States Secretary of State. I greatly appreciate your thoughtful message in support of my decision.

My philosophy is to support the President's nominees, unless I have significant cause to do otherwise. I appreciate that President Bush's official appointments would not be consistent with those I would make. However, I am deeply troubled by the confirmation of Dr. Rice as the Secretary of State and our nation's top diplomat, due to her direct role in the Bush Administration's reckless, maverick foreign policy.

It is necessary that this Administration begin to restore respect and trust for our country within the world community of nations. It is my hope that the President and his Cabinet members can accomplish this important task. However, Dr. Rice has demonstrated indifference to the Administration's misleading statements about the situation in Iraq, before and after the Congressional Resolution in October, 2002, authorizing that war. Dr. Rice misled the American public and members of Congress about Iraq. For these reasons, I voted against the confirmation of Dr. Rice as Secretary of State.

Again, thank you for contacting me. Please feel free to share your concerns with me again. My best regards.

Sincerely,
Mark Dayton
United States Senator
